    IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION Photo caption. Photo caption. Preliminary Experience Create a Journal from an Altered Book OBJECTIVES A TEACHING GUIDE FOR GRADE 4 AArtrtrtSmaSSmart:mart:t: Indiana INDIANA’S VISUAL ARTS AND ARTISTS The fi rst ArtSmart: Indiana was a major educational and public program of the Greater Lafayette Art Museum (now the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette), created to meet the goal of improving visual literacy, museum education skills, and awareness of the development of art in Indiana. The original program, (1986) written by Susan O. Chavers, and implemented by Sharon Smith Theobald, was a nontraditional multidisciplinary approach that was well received by Hoosier teachers who included ArtSmart: Indiana in their curricular plans. A copy of the ArtSmart: Indiana 200 page Resource Guide was sent to every library throughout Indiana, with the support of Pam Bennett at the Indiana Historical Bureau. The current revision of ArtSmart: Indiana, as a web-based initiative, is a Partnership Education Program of the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. Special appreciation is extended to Dr. Jeffrey Patchen, President and CEO, and Mary Fortney, Educational Resource Development Manager, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. The updated ArtSmart: Indiana project was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services with additional support from the McAllister Foundation to launch the McAllister Art Smart: Indiana Technology Center. Also, Randolph Deer, Indianapolis, and The North Central Health Services helped underwrite the additional printings of the The Art Smart: Indiana Resource Catalog and The Teaching Guide.

  • Milch Galleries
    THE MILCH GALLERIES YORK THE MILCH GALLERIES IMPORTANT WORKS IN PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURE BY LEADING AMERICAN ARTISTS 108 WEST 57TH STREET NEW YORK CITY Edition limited to One Thousand copies This copy is No 1 his Booklet is the second of a series we have published which deal only with a selected few of the many prominent American artists whose work is always on view in our Galleries. MILCH BUILDING I08 WEST 57TH STREET FOREWORD This little booklet, similar in character to the one we pub­ lished last year, deals with another group of painters and sculp­ tors, the excellence of whose work has placed them m the front rank of contemporary American art. They represent differen tendencies, every one of them accentuating some particular point of view and trying to find a personal expression for personal emotions. Emile Zola's definition of art as "nature seen through a temperament" may not be a complete and final answer to the age-old question "What is art?»-still it is one of the best definitions so far advanced. After all, the enchantment of art is, to a large extent, synonymous with the magnetism and charm of personality, and those who adorn their homes with paintings, etchings and sculptures of quality do more than beautify heir dwelling places. They surround themselves with manifestation of creative minds, with clarified and visualized emotions that tend to lift human life to a higher plane. _ Development of love for the beautiful enriches the resources of happiness of the individual. And the welfare of nations is built on no stronger foundation than on the happiness of its individual members.

And yet, the deeper this impression, the more inspiring this message, the more anxious we will be for some further information than that conveyed by the attached tablet, or the catalogue reference. The aim of this book is to gratify this desire, to enable us to have a better understanding of the works of art exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum, to point out their corelation, and thus increase our appreciation of the treasures we have seen and admired.

  • List of Exhibitions Held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art from 1897 to 2014
    National Gallery of Art, Washington February 14, 2018 Corcoran Gallery of Art Exhibition List 1897 – 2014 The National Gallery of Art assumed stewardship of a world-renowned collection of paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, prints, drawings, and photographs with the closing of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in late 2014.

To facilitate research on those and other objects included in Corcoran exhibitions, following is a list of all special exhibitions held at the Corcoran from 1897 until its closing in 2014. Exhibitions for which a catalog was produced are noted. Many catalogs may be found in the National Gallery of Art Library (nga.gov/research/library.html), the libraries at the George Washington University (library.gwu.edu/), or in the Corcoran Archives, now housed at the George Washington University (library.gwu.edu/scrc/corcoran-archives).

  • From the Chairman of The
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS REVIEW OF 2016 — A YEAR OF RESILIENCE FOR THE CUMMER MUSEUM OF ART & GARDENS. Each day on our campus, arts, gardens, and education converge to create meaningful personal experiences and open a world of new possibilities to all of the citizens of Jacksonville. As a vital community partner, the Museum reaches out to diverse audiences and the entire community through outstanding artistic offerings, dynamic learning experiences, and opportunities to participate in the beauty of the natural world. During 2016, nearly 165,000 individuals of all ages, demographics, backgrounds, and interests, from Jacksonville and beyond, took advantage of all we have to offer. Throughout this report, you will be able to revisit some of the highlights from last year, and hear directly from members, donors, volunteers, partners, artists, and others about their experiences at the Cummer Museum. This report also demonstrates the Museum’s impact beyond our walls. Innovative adaptations of the permanent collection, like the Outings Project, brought images from the collection out into the urban core. The award- winning book, "The Chef’s Canvas," featured local chefs who created new recipes inspired by their favorite works of art. Our various outreach programs in the school system and other community locations impacted 16,929 local students and adults, demonstrating that the Cummer Museum is committed to bringing our mission to life even for those who can’t visit our campus. Although 2016 included the disappointing loss of the former Woman’s Club building and the decision by Director Hope McMath to step down, we also celebrated 55 years as a vibrant institution and continued to pursue the goal of being the “center of beauty and culture” envisioned by Ninah Cummer.
